Anyway, I have hundreds of these things in my house and about 30 of them under my desk right now, and maybe 10 in my car.I have absolutely no idea why I keep 'em, but I just do.Even my friends save them up and give them to me !

Friend of mine makes lamps out of them. They are cool.He made the holes bigger by drilling the plastic out up to the shiny part, stacked CDs on top of each other (glued them together), put a neon bulb through, all on top of this nice hand made stand that houses electric parts, and there is a little box on top housing the top part of the bulb assembly. It's really neat. Lamp makes this circle of light that is straight, light shinces straight out of it, nothing goes up or down. Funky...

Well. Don't flame me but I used to hand them out to relatives that I didn't want to mess with showing them how to set up their internet conections. Then I started handing them out to only people I didn't like. Now they go straight to the trash bin.

Some are coasters, a couple are candlesticks (get a bunch together and stick a candle in the hole) they're really fun to microwave, they make great targets for airsoft and paint guns. Heck, since I don't have to deal with their service ever, I LOVE AOL!! All these free multi-purpose CDs!

There was always the plan of getting enough of them to spell out "AOL SUCKS" so it was visible from sapce....

I have a big stack of them. Like a foot tall. I haven't really done anything with it, but I probably should. I might make a big huge polyhedron kinda deal. Then I could attach strings to it and a motor to make it spin around like a weird disco ball. Hehe...

I think bitwiz's idea is better, though. As a matter of fact, I might try that.

Hey I live in town that generates a whole of those AOL cd's. (read BIG Employer) and I got to tell you that they are working very hard to make the NEXT generation of 'freebee cd's' from DVD's! How about that for content abuse!!

I returned from Europe to a big stack of AOL disks. While in Europe I'd bought myself a nice new lighter - in Liechtenstein of all places, just because it said "made it Liechtenstein" on it - so anyway I used up an old lighter's worth of butane burning the suckers.
